HOPE of Ogle County will hold a fund raising event this afternoon starting at 4 at the Rochelle City Hall. Due to the lack of a state budget, their domestic violence services may be cut in the future.
The event will take place in the courtyard at City Hall. Guest speakers include HOPE Board President Don Romes, Rochelle Mayor Chet Olson, Circuit Judge Robert Hanson, HOPE Executive Director Ruth Carter, and Rochelle Police Chief Eric Higby.
Area residents can also donate money to www.hopedv.org.
Hope of Ogle County has been helping victims of domestic violence since 1982.
